Damian's rose

Chapter 24: 24) Just a task !

Authors pov

When Rose and Damian got home it was already late at night, she wore her gym clothes and came out

of the bathroom.

Damian saw her and said...

"You should take rest, Rose ..."

"I shouldn't ..."

She said and walked outside closing the door behind her, Damian was too confused with her behaviour

but didn't got the chance to ask her about it.

Damian changed his clothes and walked towards the gym and saw her doing her workout with full

intensity.

She was punching the bag with her whole strength, taking out her anger and frustration on it.

All her emotions which were getting hard for her to control, the things which were hurting her and the

feeling of being unwanted was hurting her the most.

Damian started doing his workout but didn't took his eyes off her, he thought that she is upset because

she needs to leave, maybe she is worried about Renzo.

Damian finished his workout in few hours and Rose was still doing it.

"It's enough Rose, stop now..."

He said looking at her sweaty body and red face.

"I am not done yet..."

She replied and started her stick practice, she was swinging the stick around her with full speed making

it difficult for Damian to go near her so he decided to leave her alone for now.

He freshened up and sat on the bed, he waited there for 2 hours and still Rose hadn't come and his

eyes started getting heavy, he leaned back on the bedpost and closed his eyes.

He opened his eyes when he heard the door open and looked at her,

Rose came fully covered in sweat and totally ignored him locking herself in the bathroom for almost an

hour taking her time, she didn't wanted to sleep beside him.

She dressed up and coming outside she saw Damian half asleep. He looked at her tiredly and she was

tired too, after all the excercises her energy was drained and her body was screaming for rest. She

slide down beside him and turned her back towards him, he wrapped his hand around her waist and

pulled her closer, nuzzling in her neck...

"What happened angel, why are you so upset..."

He asked caressing her hair, she didn't looked at him, just stared at the wall in front her.

"Nothing, I am just tired..."

She closed her eyes while saying that.

He placed soft kisses on her neck and said...

"Is it because of Renzo, you don't have to worry about it Rose, I'll take care of him..."

"Okay..."

She finished the conversation in one word, too tired to talk...

"Don't turn your back on me Rose, I don't like it..."

Turning her around he placed a kiss on her forehead and kept her face close to his heart...

She stayed silent and kept her eyes closed, he thought she must be too tired after working out for

hours so he didn't dragged the conversation much and closed his eyes too.

*****

Damian woke up and ran his fingers annoyingly in his hair when he saw Rose is not beside him. He

hates it when she leaves his bed without his permission and she always does that.

He looked for her in the closet and bathroom but she was nowhere to be seen, he did his morning

business and got dressed, heading downstairs he saw her sitting at the dinning table with Ashton, they

were busy talking something.

Rose was not wearing her bodyguard suit she was wearing normal jeans and top. Damian sat on his

chair and Lilly and jack came shortly after Damian.

"Rose meet me in my office after breakfast..."

He ordered...

"Okay, boss..."

She replied back in monotone.

Damian thought after last night she will behave normal but still she was calling him boss and her dry

behaviour was making him angry so, he decided to confront her about her behaviour.

Stella and leo joined them for breakfast too, all of them were eating their breakfast silently but Stella's

eyes was not leaving Rose's face. Rose saw it but totally ignored her, on other hand stella was too

confused with Rose's calm and silent behaviour.

They finished their breakfast silently and then Simon came to the dinning hall.

"Boss, Renzo is here..."

Simon told him and left...

Everyone looked at each other but Rose didn't take her eyes of her plate. Damian clenched his jaw

when he heard his name, he didn't knew that Renzo was coming here.

"Why is he here ?"

Jack asked confused. Stella and leo looked at eachother confused not understanding what's going on

around them.

Damian stood up and walked outside, everyone followed him and Damian saw Renzo standing in the

living room admiring the interior.

"I must say your house is very beautiful Mr. Knight..."

He said still not looking at him.

"Why are you here Renzo..."

Damian asked controlling his anger.

Renzo turned around and smirked,

Rose and Ashton both bowed in front of him greeting him with respect...

"Good morning chief..."

Both of them said in unison and fully disciplined.

Damian fisted his hands tightly when he saw Rose bowing in front of Renzo. He glared at her and

gritted his jaw tightly, he didn't like her behaving like she is inferior than Renzo.

On other hand Stella's jaw dropped on the floor when she saw Rose doing it..

"What the hell is happening, why is she behaving like this..."

She mumbled to leo...

"I don't know mom but something is definitely wrong..."

Leo mumbled back.

"Nice to see you again, Rose..."

Renzo ignored Damian's questions and said mischievously to Rose...

"Likewise chief..."

She replied respectfully...

"Well, I am here to collect what's mine Mr. Knight..."

He answered Damian's questions turning towards him.

"6 months are over, isn't it Rose?..."

"Let's talk in my office, Rose you stay here..."

Damian said in demanding tone and Renzo nodded...

They walked towards his office and Rose towards her room, she packet all her necessary things,

clothes, knifes, daggers, guns and her other stuffs and placed the luggage near the bed.

"Rose is not coming with you, Renzo... I want to make her permanent here..."

Damian said...

Renzo shook his head negatively...

"I am sorry Mr. Knight... Class A fighters are not available for bodyguards job... "

Renzo replied calmly unaffected by Damian's angry voice..

"I don't care about your fucking rules Renzo, I want her here and you can't stop me, you are well aware

what I can do to you if you disrespect me..."

Damian threatened him...

Renzo Chuckled at his words...

"Yes I am well aware of that Mr. Knight and trust me I will never do that but it's not me who wants to

take her away from you, she herself wants to leave..."

Damian frowned at him...

"What do you mean ?"

He asked confused...

"Rose called me yesterday and said that her job here is done, she asked me to come here and escort

her back..."

He said smirking...

"What rubbish, she will never do that... You are lying..."

Damian spat angrily, he couldn't believe that she can say something like this.

"You can ask her..."

Renzo replied and Damian called Rose inside..

Rose knocked on the door and came in. She stood in front of both of them in straight posture, crossing

her hand behind her back in disciplined manner...

"Rose did you asked him to come here..."

Damian asked with clenched jaw...

"Yes Mr. Knight, my job here is done and I want to go back..."

She replied in monotone and Renzo smirked...

Damian was beyond shocked after listening her words, he furrowed his eyes at her and was too

confused by her behaviour. He wasn't able to understand why she is acting like this...

"So, it's cleared now... Rose take your luggage and come down..."

Renzo ordered and she left giving him a nod...

Damian was boiling in anger, Renzo was standing in the living room waiting for Rose...

Damian angrily walked towards his room and saw Rose with her luggage, he grabbed her arm and

slammed her against the wall...

"What the fuck are you doing Rose..."

He spat angrily at her...

"I am leaving Mr knight, and I am sure you don't need me Anymore..."

She replied coldly...

"What the fuck is wrong with you, and why are you calling me Mr. Knight, why are you behaving like

this rose..."

He frowned...

"Because you are no longer my boss, so I have to call you Mr. Knight and I don't know what else I am

doing wrong..."

He closed his eyes frustratingly at her cold tone...

"Why do you want to leave Rose... "

He inhaled her scent trying to calm himself to understand why she is behaving like this but it wasn't of

much help...

"Because I have no reason to stay here, my job here is done..."

She replied getting out of his hold...

He looked at her in disbelief...

"Your job ? Who am I to you Rose?..."

"You were just a task which Renzo gave me..."

She replied in her usual tone and picked up her backpack...

"Just a task ?... The time we spent together, that night... was it nothing for you?..."

He asked in disbelief...

"Yes just a task, and I don't care about what we did..."

His heart broke at her cold voice...

"How can you be so heartless Rose, if it doesn't matter then why did you always protected me, fought

by my side, took a bullet for me... Why..."

"Because it was my job Mr. Knight and I would have done the same if someone else was in your

place..."

He looked at her disappointingly...

"Get out and don't show me your face again Rose... Get out..."

He roared angrily...

She gulped down the lump in her throat picking up her suitcase she walked downstairs towards Renzo

and they both walked outside...

Damian was standing in corridor boring holes in her back, she gulped down her tears knowing that

Renzo was watching her actions...

She didn't even turned back once to look at him and it broke his heart into million pieces. One angry

tear fell from his eye which he wiped away quickly...

Roy placed a comforting hand on his shoulder and consoled him..

Jack and Lilly were standing there too with sad faces. Damian pushed Roy's hand away and angrily

walked towards his office and locked himself in...

Rose sat in the car with Renzo and looked at the huge mansion she was staying in, her heart was

breaking little by little while talking to Damian like that. But from all his actions she thought that she

might not be just challenge a for him, maybe he do cares about her, but then she remembered jack and

his conversion from the office.

"I told you emotions are our biggest enemies Rose, you can't get attached to him..."

Renzo broke the chain of her thoughts.

"I am not attached to anyone..."

She replied coldly...

"You can't lie to me, you think I don't know that you are secretly protecting him, don't forget I am your

master Rose and if I would have known this before I wouldn't have gave you this job..."

Renzo said calmly and Rose averted her eyes from him.

"Don't let your emotions fool you Rose, no one cares for you and no one wants you, have you forgotten

how your mother abandoned you... Then why are you wasting your time on these people, they don't

deserve it...."

"I will never stop protecting him chief, never...

I don't care if he wants me or not, I have promised someone that I will kill each and every person who

will try to harm Damian, if something happens to Damian then I won't be able to face that person

again..."

She replied back...

"I think I know who that person is..."

Renzo said mischievously smirking.

"When I said that I will kill each and every person, I mean it and it applies on you too..."

She looked into his eyes with her threatening one.

"Hurt my people and you will see my real face, Renzo..."

She threatened him...

Renzo's smirk deepened...

"I want to see your real face, it's been a while..."

Rose rolled her eyes and looked out of the window...
